If it's of any interest, millipede "tea" was used back in the Dark Ages to induce abortion. You had to put some millipedes in boiling water to steep and then drink two tablespoons a day.

This year for the first time we have been bothered by little gnatty things on the golf course.

I hope Gary can figure this all out and fix it.

Default Millipedes

Try Garden Tech powdered Sevin 5% works very well. I used it around my home exterior doors and garage door and alongside of driveway. They died almost instantly when they made contact.

Where did you get this product. I tried the Sevin spray and it did not phase these critters at all.

Default yes Seven dust kills centipedes immediately

We have thousands that come out of the ground when it rains. "Sevin" dust powder kills them instantly & we sprinkle it on entrance to garage, inside door tracks & around the lanai screens. I don't understand why home owners can figure out how to kill them but our pest control cannot. It seems they don't want them killed, just swept away. Well I don't like them so I kill them. So maybe we are paying for pest control for nothing. Hmmmmmm

With a 1000 legs kicking no wonder it caused an abortion.
